This manifesto is not a definitive or fixed blueprint, it is one Anarchist's personal view of how things are today and how they might be. If it results in just a few people stopping to think about different ways of doing things before they give passive and uncritical support to the status quo in the form of a vote, it will have served its purpose. The vision of such a free society has long been a source of hope. Anarchism also offers ways of improving the quality of life now, not in the distant future, when a politician finally speaks the truth.
